China's Global Governance Initiative (GGI) has gained the support from over 150 countries since it was put forward in September 2025, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong said at a seminar on Monday in Beijing.
The seminar, which focused on maintaining multilateralism and improving global governance, brought together diplomats from multiple countries and international experts on global issues. "As a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a responsible major country, China has been active in practicing true multilateralism and promoting global governance reform. GGI has gained the support of over 150 countries. We are ready to work with all parties to deepen and consolidate implementation of the initiative," he said.
However, Sun also issued a warning about certain countries' attempts to revive militarism and challenge the post-World War II international order.
"The international community needs to stay on high alert against certain country leaders who blatantly challenge the post-World War II international order and seek to revive militarism. These moves will undoubtedly face firm opposition from peace-loving and just forces around the world. China will work with relevant countries to develop a model of security for Asia featuring security for all, seeking common ground while shelving differences, and upholding dialogue and consultation. It would not tolerate any forces that seek to disrupt regional peace and stability, and not allow any country to initiate war and conflict at China's doorsteps. China is ready to work with other countries to strengthen cooperation in counterterrorism and in countering foreign interference and sanctions to safeguard peace and security in the world," Sun said.
Sun emphasized that international relations should be regulated by institutional rules, urging all parties to stand against wielding power to bully the weak.
In today's world, hegemonism has no future, and major powers in particular should lead by example in upholding the rule of law and respecting international regulations, he said.
"The more turbulent and complex the world is, the more important that we stay committed to the international system centered on the UN and the international order underpinned by international law. We should vigorously promote international rule of law, strengthen the authority and effectiveness of multilateral institutions, oppose the 'law of the jungle' where the strong prey on the weak, and resist hegemonic acts such as military coercion," he said.
